Deprogram Stress: Process

Stress isn’t about what happens. It is about how you label it.

Two people face the same challenge:
One person becomes consumed by anxiety, while the other views it as an opportunity.

The difference between the two people? Framing.

Most stress isn’t real. It’s a mental glitch, not reality.

Facts:

  • Your brain doesn’t react to facts. It reacts to your interpretation of facts.
  • The same situation can create panic or perspective, depending on how you frame it.
  • Stress isn’t what happens. It is the story you tell yourself about what happens.

The Science:

  • Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) proves that reframing stress reduces emotional intensity.
  • Neuroscience shows the brain can’t distinguish between a real or perceived threat. Your thoughts shape your reality.

Process – Reframe Stress So It Loses Power | “Neutral Reframe” Rule.

  • Instead of “This is a disaster,” say “This is feedback. What’s my next move?”
  • Instead of overreacting immediately, pause for 3 seconds.
  • Use the 5×5 rule. If it won’t matter in 5 years, don’t give it 5 minutes.

You don’t need to “manage” stress. You need to change how you see it.
